I have the following python code which almost works for me (I\'m SO close!). I have text file from one Shakespeare\'s plays that I\'m opening: Original text file:
\"Bu
mylist = ['Arise', 'But', 'It', 'Juliet', 'Who', 'already', 'and', 'and', 'and', 'breaks', 'east', 'envious', 'fair', 'grief', 'is', 'is', 'is', 'kill', 'light', 'moon', 'pale', 'sick', 'soft', 'sun', 'sun', 'the', 'the', 'the', 'through', 'what', 'window', 'with', 'yonder']
newlist = sorted(set(mylist), key=lambda x:mylist.index(x))
print(newlist)
['Arise', 'But', 'It', 'Juliet', 'Who', 'already', 'and', 'breaks', 'east', 'envious', 'fair', 'grief', 'is', 'kill', 'light', 'moon', 'pale', 'sick', 'soft', 'sun', 'the', 'through', 'what', 'window', 'with', 'yonder']
newlist
contains a list of the set of unique values from mylist
, sorted by each item's index in mylist
.
